Paul NothaftandPaul Nothaft 1366d6d14c fix(previews): preserve alpha and animation in the preview tier (#1171)
* fix(gallery): stop the lightbox loading originals to display a photo (#1166)

The lightbox read `preview_url`, which the server only emits once an admin has
flipped lightbox_preview_enabled — off by default. So a stock install fell
straight through to `url`, the untouched original: a reporter measured 16.5 MB
for a photo whose preview is 345 KB. The lightbox renders its neighbours too,
so opening one photo pulled three originals.

`slideshow_url` is the same /preview/:id URL, watermark query included, and
has been emitted unconditionally for images since #1015 — the slideshow never
had a fallback worth taking. Preferring it fixes every existing install with no
migration and no admin action, and `url` still backstops videos, where both
derivative URLs are null.

Verified on the local rig with the toggle off, so the photos API returns
preview_url: null exactly as filed. Opening one photo:

  before   GET /photo/82, /photo/81, /photo/21      (3 originals)
  after    GET /preview/82?w=1280, /preview/81, /preview/21

397 KB -> 23 KB per image on that gallery's test photos.

The toggle no longer decides whether the lightbox uses previews, so its copy
said something untrue; it now describes what it still does, which is
pre-generate rather than wait for the first guest to open a photo. Updated in
en/de/fr/sl, the locales that carry those keys.

* fix(gallery): cover the layouts the lightbox fix missed (#1166)

External review found the fix was incomplete, and the review of it found one
more.

Premium galleries were untouched. PhotoGridWithLayouts returns early for
gallery-premium, which builds its own yet-another-react-lightbox slides with
`src: photo.url` — so those galleries kept pulling full originals and the
reported bandwidth problem remained. They now use lightboxImageUrl for the
display source; `download` deliberately stays on photo.url, because what a
guest saves must be the original.

The Story layout was worse, and neither the issue nor the review caught it:
StoryPhotoCard rendered the full original as its GRID TILE, at object-cover in
a small card. That is the one place where "hundreds of megabytes for a gallery"
was literally true. It now uses the per-device thumbnail tier like PhotoCard,
and its PhotoSwipe source uses the preview tier.

Animated GIFs keep the original. generatePreviewImage always encodes JPEG, so
routing an animated source through the preview tier would have replaced the
animation with its first frame — a regression the toggle-off default never
had. Animated WebP has the same problem and cannot be distinguished by MIME
alone; that needs the backend to report it (Sharp's `metadata.pages > 1`) and
is left rather than costing every static-WebP gallery the bandwidth fix.

The settings copy claimed too much. "Pre-generate lightbox previews" does not
generate anything on save — it unlocks the regenerate button and keeps
preview_url emitted. Reworded to say that, in en/de/fr/sl.

Not changed: the review's P1 said this bypassed the secure-image route on
enhanced/maximum galleries. It does not. AuthenticatedImage collects
requiresToken and secureUrlTemplate into an explicitly-voided unusedProps and
never substitutes {{token}}, so on those protection levels photo.url was a
literal `.../secure/82/{{token}}` that returns 400 — the lightbox was falling
back to the 300px thumbnail, not to a protected image. Verified against a live
maximum-protection gallery. Codex withdrew the finding on that evidence.

* fix(gallery): keep premium downloads working and story framing intact (#1166)

Second review round, three findings — two of them regressions this PR
introduced.

Premium Download became a no-op. handleDownloadFromLightbox recovered the
photo with `filteredPhotos.find(p => p.url === slide.src)`, and slide.src is a
derivative now, so the lookup found nothing and the button silently did
nothing. The slide carries the photo id and the handler resolves by that;
what Download hands over is still the original.

Story cards were reframed. thumbnail_fit is seeded to 'cover' on every
install, so thumbnails are square centre-crops — and story cards are not
square (400x500 in the carousel, fixed-height in the desktop grid), so the
card's own object-cover cropped them a second time and every photo shifted.
They now use the preview tier, which is fit:'inside' and therefore the whole
frame: the card looks exactly as it did before, without pulling an original.

APNG joins the animated-format guard. It declares image/apng and the preview
route would serve a static frame. Animated WebP still cannot be detected from
MIME and remains the documented gap.

* fix(gallery): keep PNG on the original, alpha and all (#1166)

Third review round.

generatePreviewImage encodes JPEG, which drops ALPHA as well as animation — a
transparent PNG came back flattened against a solid background. And an APNG is
normally reported as image/png, so the image/apng check alone missed the
common upload path. PNG now stays on the original: it is where transparency is
the norm, and rare enough in an event gallery that the bandwidth given up is
small.

Animated or alpha WebP still cannot be detected from MIME and remains the
documented gap; it needs the backend to report Sharp's `pages`/`hasAlpha`.

Two further findings are acknowledged and deferred rather than fixed here:

- Story cards now request /preview on mount, so a cold gallery generates its
  previews in one burst. That is a new CPU cost, not a regression — those cards
  previously fetched full ORIGINALS on mount, which is strictly worse. Doing it
  properly means viewport-gating AuthenticatedImage, which is a change to a
  component every gallery surface uses and belongs in its own PR.
- The premium layout memoizes slide URLs, so rotating the device before opening
  the lightbox can leave a photo on the tier chosen for the old geometry. The
  result is a slightly undersized image, and the fix is a resize subscription
  this PR does not otherwise need.

* fix(gallery): load Story images on approach, and give the hero its own tier (#1166)

Every card in a Story gallery mounts at page load — `whileInView` gates the
animation, not the render — and AuthenticatedImage fetches from an effect on
mount, so all of them requested at once. That was tolerable while they pointed
at photo.url, because nothing was generated; pointing them at the preview tier
meant a gallery with cold previews would Sharp-decode every original in one
burst. The image now waits until the card is within 200px of the viewport,
using framer-motion's useInView — the same observer the entrance animation
already relies on — with `once` so a card never unloads on scroll-away.

Verified on a 62-photo Story gallery: 3 images fetched at load, growing to 15
as you scroll, where all 62 would have fired before.

While confirming that, the hero turned out to be doing the same thing the
cards were. StoryHero rendered photo.url as a full-bleed object-cover
background — a full original on the critical path for first paint of every
Story gallery — when hero_url exists for exactly this and is a 1920x1080 cover
crop emitted unconditionally for every photo (gallery.js:1139).

That gallery now issues no /photo/ request at all: hero_url for the hero,
the preview tier for the cards, and only as they come into range.

* fix(previews): preserve alpha and animation in the preview tier

Follow-up to #1166, which had to bypass the preview tier for GIF, APNG and PNG
to avoid a visible regression. This removes the cause.

generatePreviewImage encoded JPEG unconditionally. JPEG has no alpha channel
and no second frame, so a transparent PNG came back flattened onto a solid
background and an animated GIF came back as its first frame — for every
consumer of this tier, not just the lightbox: the slideshow (#1015), admin
previews, and the face avatars that read it as a whole-frame rendition. It was
only invisible by default because the lightbox served originals.

Sources with alpha, or more than one page, are now encoded as WebP, which
carries both and is still far smaller than the original. Ordinary photos stay
JPEG — the common path pays nothing.

Two things had to move with it:

- The output extension now matches what was written. A PNG source previously
  produced `preview_foo.png` holding JPEG bytes; harmless while the route
  hard-coded image/jpeg, wrong once the encoding varies. Existing keys keep
  working — they are still JPEG and still served as such.
- The preview route derives Content-Type from the key. With `nosniff` set,
  mislabelling would show a broken image rather than being silently corrected.
  The watermark branch re-encodes to JPEG, so it labels itself explicitly;
  preserving animation through the watermark compositor is a separate problem.

The frontend guess-by-MIME goes away entirely — including the case it could
never get right, since a still and an animated WebP declare the same type.

Verified on the local rig: a transparent PNG round-trips as
`Content-Type: image/webp`, `hasAlpha: true`, 8.3 KB; an ordinary photo still
serves `image/jpeg` from a `.jpg` key.

* fix(previews): retire the legacy preview keys, and stop mislabelling watermarked ones

External review of the stable twin found two defects, both on this branch too.

Legacy keys collide with the new naming. The old generator kept the SOURCE
basename verbatim while always writing JPEG, so a `.webp` upload produced
`previews/preview_shot.webp` holding a JPEG. My PR body claimed "pre-existing
keys have no .webp suffix and are JPEG" — that was simply wrong. The route now
derives Content-Type from the key and the response carries nosniff, so every
photo uploaded as WebP would have rendered as a broken image in the lightbox.
Legacy `.png` keys are wrong the other way: flattened JPEGs of what may have
been transparent sources, which isPreviewValid would have let stand forever.

Migration 188 clears photos.preview_path outright — all of it, not just the
suspicious extensions, because a `.jpg` key can equally be a flattened
rendition and nothing in the key says so. Previews regenerate lazily on next
view under the new encoder, so the cost is one regeneration per photo actually
viewed. Storage is untouched, as elsewhere.

The watermark branch mislabelled its output. applyWatermark PRESERVES the
source format (watermarkService.js:200-211: png stays png, webp stays webp),
and its input is the preview — so the output already matches the key the
header was derived from. Forcing image/jpeg mislabelled every watermarked WebP
preview, and nosniff means the browser would not correct it. The override is
gone; the animation loss through the compositor is documented where it
happens.

* fix(gallery): make the Story hero fix actually work on external galleries (#1166)

External review of the stable twin, both applying here too.

hero_url was inert for external media. ensureHeroImage only ever called
resolvePhotoStorageKey, which returns null for external/reference photos by
design — and that null was handed straight to withLocalCopy, which throws, so
the hero route caught it and redirected to the full ORIGINAL. #1078 fixed
exactly this shape for ensurePreviewImage and nobody carried it across. It
stayed invisible until this PR pointed the Story hero at hero_url: on a
managed gallery that is a real saving, on a reference-mode gallery it quietly
changed nothing. ensureHeroImage now has the same external branch
ensurePreviewImage does — direct fs read, per-photo output basename — and
returns null instead of throwing for a reference-mode row with no
source_origin.

The format bypass trusted mime_type, which is not trustworthy here. Migration
039 backfilled every pre-existing photo to image/jpeg regardless of what it
was, and adminExternalMedia inserts rows with no mime_type at all — so a
mislabelled PNG sailed past the guard and came back flattened. It now checks
the filename extension as well.

so the two tests stopped resolving and ensureHeroImage returned null the moment
that stack merged. The production path was never affected.

Paul NothaftandPaul Nothaft 05e23ef1a1 fix(admin): move the maintenance sweeps' run state into the database (#1181) (#1184)
Both photo sweeps tracked whether they were running in a module-level variable.
Correct on one replica, wrong behind a load balancer: the status poll answers
from whichever process it reaches, so an idle replica reports isRunning false
while another is mid-run, the UI re-enables the button, and the next POST lands
elsewhere and starts a second pass over the whole library. The .whereNull()
guards mean nothing is corrupted; the cost is duplicated S3/NAS I/O and an
operator who cannot tell whether a job is running.

Migration 189 adds one row per job. The claim is a conditional UPDATE whose
affected-row count is the answer — the shape backgroundProcessor already uses
to hand a photo to exactly one worker — so two replicas cannot both match.

The lease is fenced on a per-claim token: taking over a stale claim does not
stop the old runner, so without fencing a superseded runner finishing late
cleared the new owner's flag and overwrote its result. heartbeat() reports
renewal failure and the loops stop on it. Renewal runs on a timer spanning the
claim through release, including the candidate query, because one hung NAS read
can outlast the stale window inside a single iteration.

maintenance_jobs is excluded from .picpeak archives — an archive taken mid-sweep
would otherwise restore a live lease with no runner to release it. The importer
filters the same set, so older archives are skipped too.

Response shape is unchanged, so the frontend needs no change.

Paul NothaftandPaul Nothaft 410b8f8f6f fix(external-media): record capture dates on import, and backfill existing libraries (#1172) (#1179)
* fix(external-media): record capture dates on import, and backfill existing libraries (#1172)

External imports never read EXIF, so photos.captured_at stayed NULL for every
row they created. The gallery sorts "Date Taken" with
COALESCE(captured_at, uploaded_at), which on a bulk import is the import
timestamp — so the sort silently degraded into "order by import batch" with no
error and nothing in the UI to say the sort key was missing. The reporter's
12-day trip came back with its first two days at positions 4204-5296 of 5555,
because those folders happened to be imported second.

- the import reads the capture date next to the sharp().metadata() call that
  already opens the file, so this costs one more read of the same source rather
  than a second pass over the mount. Best-effort like the dimensions: a source
  without EXIF imports with captured_at NULL, as before.
- POST /api/admin/photos/repair-capture-dates backfills existing libraries,
  modelled on the dimension repair beside it — background pass, in-flight
  guard, status endpoint, and resolvePhotoFilePath, which is what reaches an
  external row at all. Not a migration: the originals sit on a mount that may
  be down at upgrade time, reading 8000+ of them would block the boot, and a
  run that found nothing has to be repeatable.
- "no EXIF date" is counted separately from "could not read the file". An
  operator needs to tell "these files carry no date" from "the mount is
  broken" before deciding to re-run.
- the update is guarded whereNull, so an import finishing mid-run is not
  overwritten by a slower pass.
- every sort branch now carries photos.id as a tiebreaker, not just
  capture_date. A bulk import writes hundreds of rows inside one second, so
  uploaded_at and the COALESCE fallback both collapse and the grid reshuffles
  between loads. id is insertion order, which makes the fallback meaningful.

Not addressed: extractCaptureDate reads no OffsetTimeOriginal, and exifr
resolves a naive EXIF timestamp against the HOST timezone — so captured_at is
not a true instant, and the same file imported on two machines yields two
values. That predates this and applies to managed uploads equally; the tests
here deliberately assert ordering rather than an absolute instant so they do
not encode the bug. Worth its own issue.

* fix(capture-dates): read managed originals through storage, skip archived, claim the run flag (#1172)

Four holes in the backfill endpoint, all found in review:

- Managed photos were resolved with resolvePhotoFilePath, which builds a
  STORAGE_PATH filesystem path. On an S3 install nothing is there, so every
  managed row failed. Now split the way the thumbnail regenerator does:
  external rows read from the mount directly, managed rows go through
  resolvePhotoStorageKey + withLocalCopy.
- Archived events keep their photos rows but their originals are deleted on
  archive, so those rows failed every run and kept the button lit forever.
  Excluded from both the job and the status counts.
- isRunning was claimed after the candidate query, so two concurrent POSTs
  could both pass the guard and start a pass. Claimed before the await, with
  every early exit releasing it.
- The noExif comment promised a distinction extractCaptureDate does not make
  (it returns null for unreadable files too). Reworded to what it is.

* chore: drop a stray node_modules symlink committed by mistake

The .gitignore pattern is `node_modules/`, which matches a directory and
not a symlink of the same name, so a local convenience link slipped past it.
It pointed at an absolute path on one machine and would dangle everywhere
else, breaking `cd backend && npm install`.

* fix(capture-dates): gate the backfill as system maintenance, stop overstating the counters (#1172)

The endpoint walks every event in the install and rewrites their metadata,
but required only photos.edit — which the built-in team_photographer preset
holds (175_granular_permissions_and_presets.js:106). That role exists for a
contributing shooter, who should not be able to start a whole-library S3/NAS
scan or touch another owner's photos. Now system.manage, with the status
endpoint on system.view so the panel simply stays hidden for everyone else.

The "without EXIF date" wording also promised a distinction the code does not
draw: extractCaptureDate returns null for an unparseable file as well as for
one that genuinely carries no date, so both land in that bucket. Reworded to
"no date found" / "unreachable" in en, de and fr, which is what the two
numbers actually separate.

* docs: point the permission note at the follow-up PR (#1172)

The dimension repair's matching gate landed in #1182, so the comment no
longer needs to describe it as unaddressed.

* fix(i18n): align the Slovenian capture-date wording with the other locales (#1172)

sl was missed when the counters were reworded from 'without EXIF date' /
'unreadable' to what they actually measure.

* fix(capture-dates): gate the status card on the permission the button needs (#1172)

system.view and system.manage are independent grants, and StatusTab has no
permission gate of its own — a successful status payload is what renders the
card and its enabled button (StatusTab.tsx:637). Gating the status endpoint on
system.view therefore handed a system.view-only role a live Backfill button
whose every click 403s, with no error surfaced by the mutation.

The comment above it already claimed this endpoint matched the POST. Now it
does.

* fix(gallery): make the Date Taken sort correct on SQLite (#1172)

photos.captured_at does not hold one type on SQLite. Three writers put three
different things in it:

  integer  managed uploads — photoProcessor.js:488 hands knex a Date, which the
           sqlite3 binding stores as epoch milliseconds
  text     external imports and the backfill, which write ISO-8601
  null     no capture date, so the sort falls through to uploaded_at, itself
           text in knex's 'YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS' default shape

A plain COALESCE over that is not an ordering. SQLite sorts INTEGER before TEXT
unconditionally, so every managed photo carrying EXIF came back ahead of every
photo that did not, whatever the dates said — a 2027 capture landing before a
2020 one. Among the text values 'T' (0x54) also outranks the space (0x20), so a
same-day ISO 01:15 sorted behind a fallback 23:00.

Both failures predate this branch — the first needs only two managed photos —
but making that sort correct is what #1172 is about, so it is fixed here rather
than left for the issue it belongs to.

Normalised in the ORDER BY rather than by rewriting the column: the data fix
would have to touch every existing row and every writer, which is a far heavier
change than the sort it corrects. The cost is that this sort no longer uses
idx_photos_captured_at on SQLite — an acceptable trade on the fallback engine,
where the alternative is an index-assisted wrong answer. Postgres is untouched:
captured_at is a real timestamp there and COALESCE already compares correctly.

The regression tests drive the real gallery route on real SQLite. They write
the epoch-millisecond integer directly, because the Date that produces it in
production cannot be reproduced inside jest — there the binding's type dispatch
misses sandbox Dates and stores "[object Object]" (CLAUDE.md). All four
behavioural tests fail on the unfixed ORDER BY; verified by reverting it.

* fix(gallery): normalise epoch-integer uploaded_at too, and stop polling a 403 (#1172)

Two follow-ups from review.

uploaded_at is not always text on SQLite either. A legacy archive restore
leaves epoch milliseconds in it — there is a test pinning exactly that
(__tests__/integration/sqliteEpochTimestamps.test.js) — and the fallback branch
read it with substr(), so '1830297600000' was compared against
'2020-01-01 00:00:00' as text and a 2028 upload sorted first. Both columns now
get the integer/real branch.

The status card also polled every ten seconds regardless of permission. With
the endpoint correctly requiring system.manage, anyone who can open the Status
tab but cannot run the job would have had a 403 and a logged denial every ten
seconds for a panel they were never shown. The query is now gated on the same
permission the endpoint requires, so it never starts.

* style: quote convention in the capture-sort test (#1172)

* fix(capture-dates): skip watcher-imported videos, and make the status counts consistent (#1172)

Three follow-ups from review.

fileWatcher.processNewPhoto sets type='video' and a video/* mime but never
media_type (fileWatcher.js:128-130), so those rows keep the 'image' default
from migration 048. Filtering on media_type alone queued every such video on
every run — extractCaptureDate returns null for a video, captured_at stays
null, and the backlog never cleared. Candidate query and status scope now check
all three markers.

The status counts were two separate queries, so an import committing a dated
photo between them could be counted by the second and not the first: the card
then showed withCaptureDate > total and a negative backlog, with the button
enabled to "fix" it. One aggregate now.

And the card's render checked only the cached payload. TanStack keeps that
after `enabled` flips false, so a lower-privileged admin logging in behind a
system.manage user inside the cache lifetime would still have seen the card and
a button whose POST 403s. The permission is part of the render condition now.

Paul NothaftandPaul Nothaft a7b74bcd87 fix(external-media): store external paths from the media root (#1163) (#1168)
* fix(external-media): store external paths from the media root (#1163)

Importing a second folder into an event silently invalidated every photo
already in it. photos.external_relpath was stored relative to
events.external_path, and every import overwrites that column — so the older
rows were rebased onto the new folder and their originals resolved to paths
that do not exist.

Nothing errored, and the grid still looked intact: thumbnails are written to
local storage during the import while the base path is still correct. Only
what needs the original broke — preview generation, the lightbox, downloads —
which presents as a gallery that looks slow rather than one that is broken.
The reporter had 7547 of 8004 rows pointing into the void and spent a while
chasing it as a CPU problem.

- external_relpath is now relative to EXTERNAL_MEDIA_ROOT, so a row is
  self-describing and nothing an admin does to the event afterwards can move
  an already-imported photo.
- migration 187 folds each event's base path into its rows. Where the current
  resolution is missing on disk it walks up the base path for an ancestor
  under which the file IS there — the already-rebased case — and where it
  finds nothing it leaves the row resolving exactly where it resolves today.
  Skipped entirely when the media root is unmounted, since every file looks
  missing then.
- the fold also runs after a .picpeak restore: knex_migrations is excluded
  from the archive, so a pre-#1163 backup would otherwise land base-relative
  rows on a migrated instance.
- drops the duplicate-leaf-segment guess in photoResolver. It papered over
  this same double-prefixing and actively corrupts a root-relative path whose
  first segment legitimately repeats (base 'Trip', row 'Trip/x.jpg').

* fix(external-media): verify provenance and fold atomically (#1163)

External review found four real defects in the fold.

Repair could adopt the wrong file. Existence alone was accepted as proof that
an ancestor candidate was the row's original — so a row whose file an admin
simply deleted would adopt any same-named file one directory up (base
`Trip/Sub`, relpath `photo.jpg`, an unrelated `Trip/photo.jpg`), and downloads
would then serve a different photo. Worse than a dead link. An ancestor must
now also match photos.size_bytes, which the import recorded from the very file
the row describes; rows carrying no size are never repaired from an ancestor.
The CURRENT base is still accepted on existence alone, because nothing is
being inferred there — that is where the row already resolves.

The fold was not atomic. Every UPDATE committed independently and the marker
came last, so a process killed mid-fold left converted and unconverted rows
with no marker — and the next run folded the converted ones a second time,
putting every original one directory deeper with no undo. Probing is now a
read-only first phase (so a slow cold NAS does not hold a write transaction
open), and every rewrite plus the marker commit together.

Failed rewrites certified a partial conversion. The per-row catch counted any
error as a collision, carried on, and wrote the marker anyway — leaving that
row in the old format for a resolver that now reads it differently. It also
could not tell a genuine duplicate from a SQLite lock or I/O fault. Target
collisions are now resolved in the planning phase, where they can be
identified honestly, and a write that fails rolls the whole fold back.

Restore ordering. The fold ran after the face requeue, with the worker live —
so a worker could claim an external row while it was still base-relative,
resolve it against the wrong path, and burn it to 'failed', a state only an
explicit Re-scan clears. The fold now runs first, for the same reason the
requeue already sat after restoreFiles.

* fix(external-media): close the fold's remaining stranding paths (#1163)

Second review round, three findings.

A collision loser was left stranded. When an event imported one file through
both `Trip` and `Trip/Sub`, two rows folded to the same path and the loser was
skipped — keeping a base-relative value that the root-only resolver then reads
as `<root>/<relpath>`, permanently wrong, with the marker claiming conversion
was complete. It is a duplicate by construction, so it now goes through
migration 186's deleteDuplicatePhotos, which reparents its feedback and marks
and reconciles the face clusters instead of orphaning them. This branch is
rebased onto #1162 for that helper.

The other restore path had the same face-ordering bug. restoreService queued
face scans in step 6, before step 7c runs pending migrations — so a pre-187
full or database restore handed the live worker rows whose paths were still
event-relative, and it burned them to 'failed', a state the later fold does
not clear. The requeue now happens after the migrations, where the files
already are.

A failed conversion was reported as a clean restore. The fold is
transactional, so a failure leaves every external path in the old format under
a resolver that reads from the media root — every original unreachable. It was
logged as a warning and the restore returned success. It now returns
externalPathsConverted/externalPathError, and suppresses the face requeue,
which would otherwise mark those photos failed on top.

* fix(external-media): make the fold safe against its own intermediate states (#1163)

Third review round, four findings.

A one-pass rewrite could collide with itself. Every FINAL path is distinct,
but a final value can equal another row's CURRENT one — `photo.jpg` repairing
to `Trip/photo.jpg` while the row already holding `Trip/photo.jpg` folds
deeper — so the update violated migration 186's unique index halfway through.
On Postgres that surfaces as 23505, which run-migrations-safe.js mistakes for
"schema already exists" and records 187 as applied after the rollback, leaving
every path unconverted with nothing to retry. Rows now park on a per-row
staging value first, and migration 187 re-throws without the driver's code so
the runner cannot misread it.

The bulk update targeted rows the plan never saw. Phase 1 probes outside the
transaction and can run for minutes; an import finishing in that window
inserts an already root-relative row, and `where event_id` prefixed it again
with the stale base. It now updates by the ids phase 1 captured.

The restore UI never showed a conversion failure. The API carried
externalPathsConverted, but PicpeakBackupCard neither declared nor read it and
showed a green success either way — so an admin whose external originals were
all unreachable was told the restore worked.

restoreService requeued faces even when the migrations failed. The step 7c
catch is deliberately non-fatal, so a pre-187 backup whose fold never ran
still handed the live worker event-relative paths to burn to 'failed'.

* fix(external-media): the fold's staging value must be storable on Postgres (#1163)

External review of the stable twin caught this, and it was on both branches.

The two-pass rewrite parks each row on a temporary value, and that value was
written with a leading NUL. SQLite stores NUL in TEXT without complaint;
Postgres rejects it outright — "invalid byte sequence for encoding UTF8: 0x00"
— so migration 187 rolled back on exactly the installs that need the two-pass
repair, and only on the engine most of them run. Restores hit the same wall
and reported the conversion as failed.

The prefix is ordinary text now. It still cannot collide with a real relative
path and is still obviously wrong if a crash leaves one behind.

Adds a gated Postgres test alongside the existing picpeakRestorePg one,
because a SQLite-only suite structurally cannot catch this class: restoring
the NUL makes exactly the two-pass repair case fail with that error, and
nothing else.

Paul NothaftandPaul Nothaft 06da1b9f7e fix(external-media): one row per external file per event (#1162) (#1167)
* fix(external-media): one row per external file per event (#1162)

Two overlapping import-external runs against the same event inserted every
file twice. The route checked for an existing external_relpath and then
inserted, with an fs.stat and a sharp().metadata() read sitting in between —
a window wide enough for both runs to see "not there". A reporter's event
held 8004 rows for 6012 distinct paths.

Nothing at the storage layer stopped it: migration 041 created only a
NON-unique (event_id, source_origin) index.

- migration 186 removes the duplicates that already exist and adds a partial
  unique index on (event_id, external_relpath). The survivor is the lowest id
  that has a thumbnail, so a half-finished import does not cost a grid tile,
  and hero references are repointed first because the FK is SET NULL.
- the route treats a unique violation as a skip and carries on, so a second
  writer this process cannot see (another replica) converges instead of
  duplicating or 500ing.
- a second import while one is already running now gets a 409 rather than
  walking the whole tree to have every insert bounce.

The duplicates' thumbnail files are left behind as unreferenced bytes — a
migration is the wrong place to reach into storage, which may be S3.

* fix(external-media): keep dependent rows and legacy restores intact (#1162)

External review found two real defects in the dedupe half of this fix.

Dangling rows on SQLite. Every FK into photos declares ON DELETE CASCADE, but
PicPeak never sets `PRAGMA foreign_keys = ON` — the codebase says so where it
deletes an event (adminEvents/helpers.js:245) — so on every SQLite install the
cascade is inert and deleting a duplicate photo left its face embeddings,
guest feedback and admin marks behind, pointing at an id that no longer
exists. Biometric data outliving its photo is exactly the invariant the event
delete goes out of its way to hold.

Dependents are now handled explicitly, and moved rather than discarded where
they can be: the duplicates were separate tiles in the grid, so a guest's
comment or an admin's rating could legitimately be on either, and dropping it
inside a fix for silent data loss would be its own bug. Where the target
already holds an equivalent row — the same guest's like, the same admin's
mark, the same transfer's entry — the loser is dropped, because those tables
mean one row per (photo, actor). photo_faces is the deliberate exception: both
rows were scanned, so moving would duplicate every embedding and split the
person clusters built from them.

Legacy restores. Suspending FK enforcement does not suspend a UNIQUE index on
either engine, so a .picpeak backup taken before migration 186 — carrying
exactly the duplicates it removes — would hit the new index mid-batchInsert
and roll the whole restore back, after every table had already been emptied.
The restore now drops the index for the load and rebuilds it after running
the same dedupe.

Also: a failed CREATE INDEX is no longer swallowed. Recording the migration as
applied without it leaves the install permanently racy, with nothing to
trigger a retry.

The shared work moves to services/externalPhotoDedupe.js, which the migration
and the restore both call.

* fix(external-media): reconcile derived state around the dedupe (#1162)

Second review round, four more real findings.

The index throw did not actually stop anything. run-migrations-safe.js treats
23505 as "schema already exists" and marks the migration applied
(run-migrations-safe.js:138) — and a CREATE UNIQUE INDEX that finds duplicate
rows raises exactly 23505 on Postgres. A replica inserting one between the
dedupe and the index lock is a real rolling-deploy shape, and the outcome was
the thing the throw was added to prevent. The index is now verified against
the catalog afterwards, and failure raises a code-less error the runner cannot
mistake for idempotence.

Two people sharing a device were treated as one. photo_feedback carries both
guest_identifier (per device) and guest_id (per person, migration 078), and
feedbackService scopes by guest_id when present. Keying equivalence on the
identifier alone deleted one of two different people's ratings. It now uses
the same COALESCE rule the service does.

Deleting faces raw left ghost people. event_people counts and centroids are
derived from the photo_faces rows being removed, and #1132's separation
snapshots hold a copy of each side's centroid — which is why faceProcessor
exposes purgePhotoFaces and says it is "called from every photo-deletion
path". The dedupe now goes through it.

Reparenting feedback left the survivor's totals stale. photos carries
denormalized feedback_count / like_count / average_rating / favorite_count and
the later reaction and colour counts, so a survivor that now owns feedback kept
rendering zero. updatePhotoFeedbackStats takes a trx so the dedupe can
recompute on its own connection.

Also: the equivalence-key delimiter was a literal NUL byte, which made git
classify the whole file as binary and hide its diff. Escaped.

* fix(external-media): stop the dedupe discarding half-states (#1162)

Third review round. Five findings, four applied.

- is_hidden joins the feedback equivalence key. feedbackService lets a
  moderator-hidden row coexist with the guest's visible replacement and counts
  only the visible one, so ignoring it deleted the visible row as redundant.
- admin marks merge instead of dropping. rating and color_label are written
  independently, so the same admin can have rated one tile and coloured the
  other; the loser now hands over any field the winner has no value for.
- a survivor that loses the only completed scan is requeued. Otherwise the
  purge takes the sole embeddings and nothing re-queues it — the photo just
  silently stops having a face.
- view_count and download_count are carried over. Those are real interactions
  recorded per row, and dropping them quietly lowered the engagement the admin
  grid shows.

Not applied: repointing a category hero can in principle land on a survivor in
another category. It needs the two duplicate rows to have been re-categorised
apart after the racing import, and the result is a cosmetic hero mismatch that
the admin category routes already guard on write. Not worth the extra branch
in a data migration.

* fix(external-media): invalidate the download zip when duplicates are removed (#1162)

External review of the stable twin. Applies to both branches.

The pre-built "download everything" archive still contained the duplicate rows
the dedupe had just deleted, so guests kept receiving them until something
else happened to invalidate it. Every ordinary photo-deletion path calls
downloadZipService.invalidate for exactly this reason.

The columns are cleared rather than the service being called: that service
carries debounce timers and a regeneration queue, which is not something a
migration should start. getZipInfo already treats a cleared record as a cache
miss and rebuilds on the next request, so this is the durable half of what
invalidate does. The stale object is left in storage for the same reason the
duplicates' thumbnails are — a migration is the wrong place to reach into a
backend that may be S3.

Paul Nothaft c305ad4146 feat(faces): make "not the same person" survive a re-scan (#1132) (#1145)
A separation — an explicit dismissal, or the implicit one a Split records — was stored as a pair of event_people.id. Those ids do not survive re-derivation: recluster() deletes every person, and a full re-scan replaces a photo's faces outright, so face ids die too. The only thing that survives both is the embedding, so the decision is keyed on the two centroids the pair had when the photographer separated them. It binds while both sides still look like the clusters that were separated, and lapses once they have drifted past recognition.

The constraint is now honoured at assignment time as well as in consolidate(), which is what makes it hold across a re-scan rather than being reformed before any later pass could object.

Six review rounds shaped the matching itself: each candidate must resolve to the OPPOSITE side rather than merely matching something (a split leaves two similar halves, and the loose test fragmented the person the split was not even about); assignment judges both sides at the ordinary match threshold, since a single face — or a cluster of one part-way through a recluster — cannot resemble a settled centroid; separations carry their own model_version; and the projections are hoisted out of the innermost loop, which took a 2000-photo scan from ~15s of dot products to 0.23s.

Lifecycle closed three ways: purgePhotoFaces re-anchors each side onto the live cluster it still describes and drops rows that describe nothing left, deleteEventCascade and the permanent archive delete clear the table (which deliberately has no event FK), and a later manual merge drops the separations it reverses. All of it matched on vectors rather than ids, since a row that has outlived a recluster names people who no longer exist.

Paul Nothaft 2c81888eaf fix(gallery): a guest's own hidden feedback is hidden from them too (#1150) (#1153)
Everything in the system treats a hidden row as absent — getPhotoFeedback drops it even for the guest's own feedback, and updatePhotoFeedbackStats does not count it. The per-viewer is_liked heart and my_color_label badge read the row without looking at is_hidden, so a like the photographer had hidden still showed as liked on a photo whose like_count was zero.

Making those agree exposes why it had not been fixed: the duplicate check behind like/favorite toggling did not skip hidden rows either, so the now-empty heart, when clicked, found the hidden row and toggled it OFF — the click did nothing visible and the moderation was silently undone. Skipping hidden rows there makes the click create a fresh, visible row.

Review found four more surfaces still treating a hidden row as present: the per-guest caps (an at-cap guest with one hidden met their own click with limit_reached), /my-feedback (which drives the Liked/Favorited/Rated chips in guest identity mode), getEventFeedbackSummary (disagreeing with the photo counters in the same response), and unhide (leaving two visible rows for one guest). The rating-clear and single-value delete scopes are visible-only now, so a follow-up mutation no longer destroys the admin's hidden record, and the unhide collapse is skipped when there is no stable identity to scope by — that fallback was 'guest_identifier IS NULL', i.e. other visitors' rows.

Not taken: refusing to hide non-comment feedback, which the issue recommended. #839 and #1044 both ship hiding for reactions and colour labels with tests asserting a hidden one stops counting; only the admin UI's Hide button is comment-only.

Paul Nothaft 00b20b2d72 fix(gallery): guest filters respect show_feedback_to_guests, and marks survive a mid-write clear (#1147)
Two follow-ups from the review of #1137.

Filters were a second way to read hidden feedback. Every token on /photos is an OR of two halves: what THIS viewer marked, and what ANYONE marked. The response fields built from the second half — like_count, comment_count, color_label_count — are all gated on show_feedback_to_guests. The filter was not, so with the setting off a guest could still send ?filter=liked and get back exactly the photos other people liked, across all five tokens. Reachable by a direct API caller holding a gallery token; the frontend never sends filter to this endpoint.

The half it left standing was also the wrong half. It read guest_identifier from the guest_id QUERY PARAMETER, which never matched anything — the frontend invents that string in localStorage and never sends it when submitting feedback, while submissions store generateGuestIdentifier(req). So gating the aggregate would have emptied these filters rather than narrowing them to 'mine', and accepting a caller-supplied identifier was a way back through the gate. Resolved from the request now, hidden rows excluded to match what the viewer can see.

A mark whose row is cleared mid-write lost its value. #1137 fixed two calls both writing; this is one clearing while another sets. The clear empties the row, the row is deleted for being empty, and the setter's update matches nothing — the caller told 'no mark'. A zero-row update now reports itself and the caller re-reads, bounded at three passes, throwing rather than reporting a success that did not happen.

Paul Nothaft e4a8be8e7e fix(gallery): no Logout button on galleries that don't require a password (#1149) (#1152)
showLogout was hard-coded true, so a gallery with no password showed a Logout button. Logging out of it is meaningless — no credential to drop, nothing to return to — and it stranded the visitor: GalleryPage's auto-login is a one-shot latch, so clearing the session left the page on its skeleton until a manual reload. That is the 'turns blank' in the report.

The button is gated on requiresPassword || isClient || viaCustomer at both call sites. The full-page layouts render it on the callback being present rather than on a flag, so withholding the callback is how the gate reaches them.

Session kind now comes from /auth/session rather than sessionStorage, which is per-tab while the cookie is per-browser: a gallery reopened in a second tab lost 'client' while the backend kept serving it as one. viaCustomer marks a portal token, which bypasses reveal mode and so is a credential that does not look like one.

The public-gallery branch no longer returns the skeleton unconditionally — once auto-login has run and left us unauthenticated it shows the reason and a Retry. That state was otherwise unrecoverable, and it also swallowed loginError entirely.

Paul Nothaft b581267031 fix(scripts): regenerate-thumbnails resolves external sources through ensureThumbnail (#1148) (#1151)
The CLI fallback carried the defect #1129 fixed in the admin route: it computed `storage/events/active/<photo.path>` and fs.access'd it, a location that does not exist for external or reference rows. Every one failed the check and was counted as an error, so on an external-media install the script was inert while reporting one error per photo.

Resolution now goes through ensureThumbnail, which already branches on source_origin and owns the per-photo ext<id>_ output name — sharing it is what stops the script and the route drifting apart again.

Also: videos skipped on every marker they can carry (fileWatcher writes type and mime_type but never media_type), responsive tiers backfilled alongside the canonical rendition, skip-vs-generate asked from isThumbnailValid rather than inferred from an unchanged path, tier failures counted rather than swallowed, and a nonzero exit when the backfill was incomplete.

The script is now importable with the CLI behind a require.main guard; it previously ran on require and called process.exit, so it could not be tested at all — which is why this survived #1129.

Luca e2844d1909 feat(gallery): colour labels for client proofing, and one global default per feedback type (#1044) (#1137)
Colour labels for client proofing, plus the photographer's own stars and colours in the admin grid.

- Guest colour labels alongside likes/reactions, opt-in per event (defaults off so live galleries do not change mid-proofing), with 'colors' and 'lightroom' keybind schemes.
- One global default per feedback type, replacing the per-type scatter.
- Admin marks live in their own table (photo_admin_marks) so they can never reach a guest-facing surface.
- XMP export prefers a real label, keeping the rating-derived mapping as a fallback.

Review: concurrent-write loss on the mark update path, migration index idempotency and error classification all fixed in 7139bcae; migrations renumbered to 182/183 in 8fecdfae after 180/181 were taken on main.

Merged with admin privileges: bypass-size-gate is a required check that fails on size alone for review-bypass authors and never re-evaluates on review, which is its designed behaviour once a maintainer has approved.

Paul Nothaft 3583c924da feat(faces): consolidate look-alike clusters after a scan, and suggest the rest (#1107)
consolidate() has existed since #1074 and described this exact symptom in its own
comment, but its only caller was recluster() — i.e. when an admin pressed
Re-group people. After a normal background scan the centroids converged and
nobody looked, so a gallery settled with 14 people that should have been 8.

It now runs when a scan drains. There is no scan-finished event to hook, so an
idle worker asks whether the events it touched have actually drained — 'a worker
went idle' is deliberately not treated as sufficient, because with concurrency
above one the others may still be working.

The uncertain band asks instead of acting: pairs between the assignment
threshold and the stricter auto-merge one surface as accept/dismiss suggestions,
with sticky dismissals. Nothing merges silently — a pass that merged anything
reports it and points at Split.

Review rounds hardened it against overruling explicit decisions: it no longer
absorbs ignored clusters (mergePeople ORs is_ignored onto the survivor, which
would have hidden a real person), no longer merges dismissed pairs, no longer
undoes a manual Split (which now records a separation), and no longer runs after
detection is switched off. The dismissal read fails closed, a failed pass is
retried with backoff rather than lost or hot-looped, and the new table follows
event_people out of exports and backups.

Name autocomplete needs no endpoint — the people list already open is the source,
and it is event-scoped on purpose.

Known limitation, tracked in #1132: separations are keyed on person ids, so a
full re-scan loses them.

Paul Nothaft 25fbefc703 docs(faces): link the face-recognition guidance from where people look (#1125)
Every other feature routes readers to docs.picpeak.app. Face recognition was the
one that either pointed somewhere else or pointed at nothing — poor placement
for the feature with the highest read-before-you-enable burden anything here
ships.

.env.example referenced docs/feature-face-recognition.md, which does not exist —
and creating it is not the fix, because .gitignore:89 ignores docs/feature-*.md
outright, so the file would be invisible to anyone who cloned. That was the only
pointer to legal guidance an operator got while editing the variables that turn
Art. 9 processing on.

Also: the README linked the sidecar's developer README for the feature name and
had no row in the documentation table, docs/single-container.md left readers who
wanted the feature nowhere to go, ml/README.md had no backlink, and the admin
consent callout had no link at all. It does now, inline at the end of the
obligation.

Paul Nothaft 87115b28e8 fix(gallery): give masonry tiles their real shape back (#1130, #1131)
Two independent causes of the same symptom — an aspect-ratio layout that does
not lay anything out.

gallery-premium discarded the tile height MasonryPhotoAlbum computed from
photos.width/height and set height:auto on both card and image, so the rendered
shape came from the intrinsic ratio of whatever rendition was served. With
thumbnail_fit seeded 'cover' by migration 040 every rendition is square, so the
layout drew identical squares and was indistinguishable from grid. The card now
uses the height it is given and the stylesheet's existing height:100% applies.

The bundled CSS templates pinned images to a fixed pixel height, which has
specificity (0,1,1) and beats the .h-full utility (0,1,0) six of the seven
layouts use. Elegant Dark is seeded is_default, so that was the out-of-the-box
result for any layout other than grid/timeline.

Migrations 052/053 corrected for fresh installs; 181 repairs the rows already
seeded. Whitespace-tolerant because sanitizeCSS strips newlines from any
template ever saved through the editor — an exact-text migration would have
silently no-opped on most real installs. The height property is matched with a
lookbehind so line-height/max-height/min-height are untouched, grouped selectors
are handled, and nested rules are skipped rather than mis-rewritten.

Both reported, measured in the live DOM, by @BraynArts.

Paul Nothaft 97d92f8428 fix(thumbnails): regenerate external photos instead of dropping their tiers (#1129)
POST /admin/thumbnails/regenerate resolved every source as
storage/events/active/<photo.path> and fs.access'd it. External and reference
rows are not there, so every one failed and was counted as an error — and
because the tier deletion runs first, the endpoint dropped every ?w= tier and
rebuilt nothing, leaving the library worse than before it ran. The UI reported
success either way.

Now routed through ensureThumbnail, which resolves both source kinds, uses the
per-photo ext<id>_ output name, and writes thumbnail_path back itself.

Review rounds also removed both destructive deletes in generateThumbnail: the
pre-delete ran before sharp opened the source, so an unreadable source left the
previous rendition gone and the database pointing at it — across a bulk run,
the whole gallery. Neither delete was needed, since put stages to a temp file
and renames atomically and is the last statement in the try.

Videos are filtered out, and the superseded rendition is removed only when the
storage key actually moved, compared through the same canonicalisation the
backends apply so a legacy backslash path is not mistaken for a different
object.

Reported by @BraynArts, who also identified the fix.

Paul Nothaft f735d26422 fix(gallery): a missing thumbnail tier must not take the backend down (#1128)
The first load of a gallery whose ?w= tiers do not exist yet could exit the Node
process — not 500 one tile, kill the backend. Two defects stacked.

The reader: LocalFsStorage.get() returns a lazy fs.createReadStream, so an ENOENT
arrives after the await returned and outside the route's try/catch. An unhandled
'error' event is a process-level throw. pipeStreamToResponse attaches the handler
the routes were missing — 404 for a vanished source, connection destroyed if
bytes are already on the wire, file headers cleared so the JSON error is not
served as image/jpeg or cached as a broken tile for an hour. Applied to all nine
streaming responses in gallery.js.

The writer: ensureThumbnailAtWidth passed regenerate:true, whose first act is to
DELETE the target — on a path only reached when the tier is absent. A grid fires
one request per tile, so one request unlinked the file another had just published
and handed to a reader. Without the flag the write is an atomic rename.

Generation is now also deduped per tier key: 8 concurrent requests ran 5 Sharp
passes before, 1 after.

Luca 7223118b89 feat(deploy): make the all-in-one image installable without a shell (#1124)
The all-in-one image could not be installed from a GUI at all — the deployment it
exists for. validateEnv treats a missing JWT_SECRET as critical and exits, and the
documented run command supplies it with `openssl rand`, a shell command a Synology
Container Manager or QNAP Container Station form cannot run.

wait-for-db.sh now generates one on first start and persists it next to the database,
extending the existing /run/secrets hydration rather than adding a second mechanism.
Explicit env still wins, then /run/secrets, then the generated file. The write is
load-bearing: JWT_SECRET is exported only when the file actually persisted, because an
unpersisted secret would mint a new one every restart and sign every session out.

Creation writes to a private temp file and hard-links it into place — atomic, fails with
EEXIST when another container won, and the loser adopts the winner's value. Non-regular
paths are rejected before the link, since POSIX ln links INTO a directory rather than
failing, which would make a mistyped -v target unrecoverable.

Also repairs the onboarding paths a new install actually walks: the installer no longer
rotates the secrets of a running install on re-run, deprecates the dead scripts/install.sh
in place, corrects the CONTRIBUTING dev loop, and fixes the vite proxy target that had
been pointing at a stray local port since 0da45e69.

Reviewed over three rounds. Co-authored by @Luca-Timo.

Paul Nothaft 24e11df299 fix(faces): dark-mode styling for the People surfaces (#1106) (#1126)
Every component added by #1074 was styled for light mode only. In the admin dark
theme the three toggle labels rendered invisible — including "Detect people in
this gallery", the switch that starts GDPR Art. 9 processing — and the
Manage-people modal rendered as a light panel over a dark page because its shell
was a hardcoded bg-white.

Admin surfaces pair each neutral with a dark: variant; guest surfaces read the
gallery theme tokens, because galleries carry their own dark themes that the
admin dark class knows nothing about.

Beyond the issue's inventory: the cover picker and face-in-context viewer that
landed after it was filed, the magnifier chip whose bg-white/90 would have
carried light glyphs, PeopleSheet's own hardcoded bg-white shell, the selected
avatar's white ring-offset halo, and both dismiss buttons whose hover darkened
into the background.

External review found one defect, fixed: the sheet's avatars ring against
--color-surface, not the page background.

Paul Nothaft 38c27d097c feat(faces): show a detected face in its source photo, outlined (#1120)
Phase 2 of #1096. Stacked on the phase-1 branch — it needs the Postgres fix
there, or the face list this reads comes back empty.

A 64px avatar answers "is this a person", not "is this the same person as that
other cluster". The reporter's revised use for this is the pre-merge decision:
who they were standing next to, what the occasion was. So the face opens in
its own photo with the detected box drawn, and prev/next walks that person's
other appearances without leaving the modal.

The box is positioned in PERCENTAGES of the original frame, not measured
pixels: the container carries the photo's aspect ratio, so the same four
numbers land correctly at any rendered size, with no resize listener. Verified
against real data before writing the component — bbox [221.9, 174.9, 294.5,
405.8] on a 750x750 frame resolves to left 29.6% / top 23.3% / width 39.3% /
height 54.1% and lands squarely on the face.

Preview rendition, never thumbnail, and that is load-bearing rather than a
quality preference: thumbnail_fit is seeded to 'cover' on every install, so a
thumbnail has had its edges cut off and ratios taken against the ORIGINAL land
nowhere on it. That was #1100, and it presented as a broken detector.

Not built on AdminPhotoViewer, deliberately. It wants full AdminPhoto objects
(this endpoint returns photo_id + bbox + dimensions), it carries delete and
category actions that are wrong for "who is this?", and there is no seam to
draw the box.

Three things review caught, all real:

- The container had a height cap but no width cap, so a panorama derived its
  width from the aspect ratio and overflowed the modal sideways, taking part
  of the outlined face off-screen.
- The per-tile affordance was hover-only, so on a tablet it was permanently
  invisible and there was no way to inspect a specific tile.
- The row action opened index 0, which is the TOP-SCORING face — the same
  thing as the cover only until someone uses phase 1 to pick a different one,
  at which point the row showed one face and opened another. It now resolves
  to the cover's own index.

Round 2 found three more, all real:

- The counter called a list truncated whenever it hit 500, so a person with
  exactly 500 faces was told their complete list was capped. It now compares
  against total_face_count.
- facesLoading goes false with an empty array on a zero-face person or a failed
  request, so the panel sat on a spinner that would never resolve.
- Five 32px actions plus a 64px avatar exceed a 320px row, and the name is what
  got pushed out. flex-wrap alone did not fix it — the toolbar still claimed
  its max-content width first — so its basis is capped at small sizes and the
  buttons wrap to a second line instead.

A cover that falls outside the capped list opens the first face instead. That
case implies the list IS capped, so the truncation note already explains it —
real pagination is a bigger change and is not in this.

Verified end to end: picked the 5th of 13 faces as cover, and the row action
opened at 5 / 13 rather than 1 / 13. Frontend suite 178 passing, build clean,
no new type errors.

Paul Nothaft bbce3cd2a2 feat(faces): let the photographer choose which photo represents a person (#1119)
Phase 1 of #1096.

Clustering picks the cover, and its idea of a good one and a human's do not
always agree. A cluster whose avatar is turned away or softer than the rest
stays that way in the guest-facing people strip too, and nothing in the UI
could change it.

A picker reachable from each person row, reusing the face list the split
dialog already loads — same query, same grid, different action on a click.

Making the choice actually stick took four changes
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
event_people.cover_face_id has existed since migration 177 and the PATCH
already accepted it, so the first version of this was frontend-only. It was
also a no-op:

- facePeopleService.listPeople SELECTED cover_face_id and then discarded it,
  recomputing the cover as the best-scoring VISIBLE face on every read. The
  picker saved, said so, and the avatar reverted immediately. It now prefers
  the stored pick whenever this audience can see it, and falls back to the
  score-ordered choice otherwise — so visibility scoping still wins, and a
  guest is never handed a crop of a photo they cannot open.
- recomputeCentroid overwrote cover_face_id unconditionally. It runs on
  rescan and on photo replacement, so any reprocessing silently undid a
  deliberate choice. It now keeps the chosen face while it is still a member
  of the cluster.
- The face list is cached per person, and split/merge move faces between
  people. Until now the only reader closed itself after acting, so nobody saw
  the stale copy; the picker is a second reader of the same key.
- cover_face_id meant two things. assignFaces seeded it with whichever face
  opened the cluster and recomputeCentroid overwrote it with the highest
  scoring one, so an automatic guess was indistinguishable from a deliberate
  choice — and honouring it would have pinned every UNCURATED person to that
  guess, which is worse than the fallback it replaced (the fallback is
  computed per audience and skips photos a guest cannot open). Both writers
  are gone, migration 179 clears the stored guesses, and the column now means
  one thing. That also removes the need to defend the choice against rescans:
  nothing overwrites it, and a dangling id self-heals to the derived cover.

Clearing existing values is safe rather than destructive: no install has ever
been able to SET a cover, so every stored value is an automatic guess by
construction.

Also fixes a PostgreSQL-only 500
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
GET /admin/events/:id/people/:personId/faces joined `photos` but did not
table-qualify its WHERE, and photo_faces and photos BOTH have an event_id:

  column reference "event_id" is ambiguous

Postgres refuses it, so the endpoint 500s and the Split dialog — its only
consumer until now — has been broken on every PostgreSQL install since the
join was added. SQLite resolves the ambiguity silently, which is why the suite
stayed green. Reproduced against a real Postgres before and after.

The query is now a named builder the route calls and the test imports, rather
than a copy: an earlier version of that test re-declared the query, so the
route could regress to the bare form while the assertions kept passing.

Merge and recluster preserve the choice as well. Both already carried labels
and privacy flags across; the chosen cover is human state of the same kind, so
it now rides along — through a merge when the target has none, and through a
recluster by following its FACE into whichever cluster ends up holding it,
rather than the majority-descendant rule the label uses.

The picker and the endpoint disagree past 500 faces, so the picker now says
when it is showing a capped list rather than presenting it as exhaustive.

Frontend suite 178 passing, backend 23 across the touched suites, build clean,
no new type errors. Mutation-checked twice: dropping the cover preference fails
the new listPeople test while the visibility-scoping test still passes, and
restoring the auto-seed in assignFaces fails it too.

Paul NothaftandPaul Nothaft 887bdbe6e5 feat(gallery): responsive grid thumbnails (#1095) (#1109)
* feat(gallery): responsive grid thumbnails (#1095)

The half of #1095 that #1099 deliberately left out. Grid tiles are ~175
CSS px at the mobile 2-column default — about 530 device px on a DPR-3
phone — so the 300px thumbnail is upscaled ~1.8x and faces visibly mush.

Backend mirrors the preview tiers exactly: ?w= on the gallery thumbnail
route, whitelisted to 300/600/900, cached by width in storage, never
written to photos.thumbnail_path, and keyed by photo id for every source
type — basenames are not unique across events and a tier is served from a
cache hit without re-reading the source, which is how the preview tiers
nearly leaked one gallery's photo into another. The tier is in the ETag,
or a client holding the 300px file gets a 304 for its 600px request.
Cleanup and regenerate invalidation are wired the same way.

generateThumbnail now takes width/height overrides; it keeps the
configured `fit`, because the grid renders with object-cover and tiers
that were framed differently would visibly jump as the viewport changes.

The srcset only advertises tiers the SOURCE can fill. Thumbnails are
generated withoutEnlargement, so a 400px original asked for 900 comes
back at 400 — advertising "900w" would have the browser pick that
candidate and upscale it, which is the reported softness made worse. That
exact trap is why this was held back from #1099; the photo's own
dimensions are now the guard, measured on the SHORT edge because
thumbnails are square and a 4000x600 panorama can still only fill a 600
tile. A source that clears only one tier gets no srcset at all rather
than a single pointless candidate.

Two things this surfaced, both worth knowing separately:

`npx tsc --noEmit` type-checks NOTHING in this project — the root
tsconfig is `files: []` with project references, so the real command is
`tsc -b`, which is what build:check runs. Under tsc -b the repo has 43
files with pre-existing type errors; this branch adds none, and the one
error in a file I touched (PeopleManagerModal:91) is on main already and
unrelated to the line I changed.

* fix(gallery): wire grid tiers into the component that actually renders

The srcSet landed in PhotoGrid.tsx, which nothing imports — GalleryView
renders PhotoGridWithLayouts, and every grid layout funnels its tile
through the shared PhotoCard. The frontend half of #1095 shipped nothing.

Moved to PhotoCard, and switched from srcSet to a single sized URL, the
same shape PhotoLightbox already uses for preview tiers. AuthenticatedImage
fetches its src with the gallery bearer token and renders the blob; an
<img> carrying a w-descriptor srcSet ignores src entirely, so that fetch
would have been discarded and the browser would have issued its own —
unauthenticated, and resolved against the page origin rather than the
configured API host. One URL keeps the auth path and halves the requests.

The tier comes from the tile's measured width via the IntersectionObserver
entry, read on the same render that reveals the image so nothing is fetched
twice. Column counts differ per layout and shift again with thumbnailScale,
so the breakpoint table is only a fallback.

Also closes what the tier cache leaked or served stale:

- ensureThumbnailAtWidth short-circuits videos. Their thumbnail is a poster
  frame, so the tier path handed the video file to Sharp — after downloading
  it in full on S3, uncached, once per request.
- The ETag names the tier actually served, not the one requested. A fallback
  to the canonical thumbnail was caching a 300px image under a 900px key.
- Tier height scales from the configured aspect ratio instead of forcing a
  square; with fit:'cover' a 300x200 canonical and a 600x600 tier are two
  different crops and the photo reframed between tiers.
- The canonical short-circuit compares against the configured thumbnail_width,
  not the 300 default, so a 600px install stops generating duplicate tiers.
- Tier invalidation on /admin/thumbnails/regenerate, above the local-file
  check that skips S3 and external rows.
- Tier cleanup in replacePhoto and deleteEventCascade. Both derive keys from
  the photo row, so the rows have to be read before they change or vanish.
  Preview tiers had the same two holes and are swept alongside.

The clamp no longer drops a tier when the source falls between them: a 400px
short edge asked for 600 returns all 400 pixels, where clamping to 300 threw
100 of them away.

Backend 18 tier tests, frontend 22. Full suites green: 293 backend across the
touched areas, 185 frontend, build clean, no new type errors.

* fix(gallery): measure the tile, and stop regenerating the w300 tier

Follow-up to the review of #1095. Closes the three items left open there,
plus a defect the previous commit introduced.

**The w300 tier regenerated on every request.** Decoupling the canonical
short-circuit from the hardcoded 300 left generateThumbnail still tagging
against DEFAULT_THUMBNAIL_WIDTH. On an install with thumbnail_width=600 a
w=300 request wrote `thumb_<name>` while the caller probed for
`thumb_w300_<name>`: the cache never hit, so every request re-downloaded the
original and ran Sharp, and the file it left behind was in no cleanup list.
The tag now follows the configured width, and thumbnailTierKeys lists all
three widths — which one is canonical is a setting, so excluding 300 stranded
exactly the file a 600-configured install generates.

**The tier is chosen from the tile's measured width.** The observer entry
only exists for `lazy` cards, and Mosaic, Masonry and Timeline don't pass it
— Mosaic is 1-up on mobile where Grid is 2-up, so they are the layouts a
breakpoint guess gets most wrong. Measured in a layout effect and gated: the
image is not rendered until the width is known, so AuthenticatedImage never
mounts with a src it has to replace. Attaching the observer ref
unconditionally instead refetches every tile, since React flushes passive
effects before the sync re-render a layout effect triggers — removing the
gate makes the new single-request test fail, which is how that was confirmed
rather than assumed.

**Gallery Premium has its own card** and never reached the shared one, so its
tiles kept pulling the canonical thumbnail. MasonryPhotoAlbum already hands
the laid-out width to the render prop, so it needed no measurement.

**Event rename orphaned tiers.** The key embeds the basename, so the DB
update is the point past which the old keys cannot be derived. Dropped inside
the filename-changed branch, not the loop body: unconditional would fire four
storage deletes per photo on every rename, 20k calls against S3 for a
5,000-photo event that merely had its slug adjusted. Preview tiers had the
same hole and are swept alongside.

Carousel is the seventh layout and deliberately gets no tiering: its
filmstrip thumbs are 80 CSS px, under the canonical 300 even at DPR 3.

Tests: first PhotoCard suite (6), backend tier suite 21. Both new behaviours
mutation-checked — reverting the width tag, the render gate, the measurement,
or the rename sweep each fails a test. Full suites green: 298 backend across
the touched areas, 191 frontend, build clean, no new type or lint findings.

* fix(gallery): mount masonry cards once, into a measured layout

Found while capturing screenshots for this PR, by attributing every thumbnail
request to a photo id rather than eyeballing the grid.

Masonry columns mode starts at 3 columns and runs its greedy distribution off
a hardcoded 300px estimate until the container has been measured. Cards
mounted into that guess are torn down when it settles — photos move to a
different parent column, so React unmounts them — and since #1095 each mount
picks its tier from its own width, the two mounts request two DIFFERENT urls.

Measured on a 1440px desktop, production build, 62 photos:

  before   45 photos fetched at canonical AND w600, 17 stuck on w600
           107 requests
  after    62 photos, canonical only, 62 requests

Mobile was already landing on one tier either way, so both mounts produced the
same url and the second was a cache hit — which is why it looked clean and the
desktop case did not.

The fix is the gate the rows/justified mode in this same file already applies
for the same reason (line 346): hold the cards back until containerWidth is
known. Only columns mode was missing it. Grid and Justified take their column
counts from CSS breakpoints, so they have no transient measured value to
discard and are unaffected.

Worth noting this was NOT visible on main: without tiering both mounts request
the same url, so the browser cache absorbs the duplicate. Tiering is what turns
a harmless remount into a second download — the regression is this PR's, which
is why it is fixed here rather than deferred.

Frontend suite 194 passed (3 new). Mutation-checked: removing the gate fails
the mount-once and placeholder tests.

Paul Nothaft 00776234fd fix(security): let cors() own Access-Control-Allow-Origin on protected images (#1118)
Closes #1116.

secureImageMiddleware set its own Access-Control-Allow-Origin, overwriting the
one cors(corsOptions) had already computed. server.js:247 mounts cors() on all
of /api with credentials:true, so by the time the route handler ran the correct
header was already there — and the local assignment replaced it with a worse
answer in BOTH directions:

  unresolved -> '*'. Combined with the credentials:true that cors() sets, that
    is an invalid pair browsers reject outright. Unreachable on Docker until
    #1104 stopped compose injecting FRONTEND_URL; reachable on a fresh install
    from then until the wizard stores general_site_url.

  resolved   -> the frontend origin, even when the request legitimately came
    from the allowlisted ADMIN_URL. A split admin host got a header naming the
    wrong origin and the browser rejected a request cors() had allowed.

Deleting the line fixes both. cors() already validates the request Origin
against the allowlist, sets Vary: Origin, omits the header entirely for a
disallowed or absent Origin, and pairs correctly with credentials. Methods,
Headers and Max-Age stay here: they are route-specific and cors() does not
contradict them.

Observed against a running instance before and after:

  allowlisted Origin    ACAO: <that origin> + Vary: Origin + credentials:true
  disallowed Origin     no ACAO
  no Origin header      no ACAO

Six tests, mounted on a real Express app with server.js's middleware order.
Deliberately NOT a unit test against a response double: the first version of
this fix was a guarded assignment that looked correct in isolation and still
overwrote cors() whenever an origin resolved. A double cannot see middleware
composition, which is exactly how that slipped through.

Mutation-checked both ways — restoring the original `|| '*'` fails 5 of 6, and
restoring the guarded assignment fails 3 of 6 including the admin-origin case.

Paul Nothaft d241919604 fix(ui): stop iOS Safari zooming in on 14px form fields (#1113)
Closes #1105.

iOS Safari zooms the whole page in when a focused form control computes to
under 16px, and it does not zoom back out. Unlocking a gallery is a
client-side transition rather than a document navigation, so the zoom the
password field triggers carries straight into the gallery: the layout pans
horizontally and the header actions sit off-screen until the visitor
pinch-zooms out by hand. A real page load would have reset it.

`.input` and `.input-themed` are `text-sm`, so the field is 14px on every
phone, and GalleryPage inverts the breakpoint on top of that
(`text-sm sm:text-base` — 14px below 640px, where iOS zooms, and 16px above
it, where it never does).

Keyed to the POINTER, not a width. The zoom depends on the computed font size
and a touch device, never on how wide the viewport is — and a phone in
landscape is 667-956 CSS px, above any width you could call "phone". Measured
on the admin login page, which has no `sm:` override:

  main   portrait 390x844    14px    zooms
  main   landscape 844x390   14px    zooms
  main   iPad 820x1180       14px    zooms
  fixed  all three           16px
  fixed  desktop (mouse)     14px    unchanged, no zoom off touch

One media query rather than flipping each call site. `.input` alone backs 334
`<Input>` usages, but there are also ~440 raw inputs, selects and textareas
carrying their own `text-sm`, and Tailwind utilities sit in a later layer than
@layer components — so a fix at the component definition misses most controls
and any new `text-sm` silently reintroduces the bug.

The `:not()` on each selector is load-bearing, not decoration: it buys the
specificity to beat a utility class. Measured in a browser —

  input.text-sm     16px   (0,2,1 beats .text-sm)
  select.text-sm    14px   (0,0,1 loses)
  textarea.text-sm  14px   (0,0,1 loses)

24 selects and textareas in the tree carry `text-sm`, so the bare form would
have left them zooming. Checkbox and radio stay excluded so font-size never
sizes their box.

max(16px, 1em, 1rem) is a FLOOR, not a size. A flat 16px would make controls
that are already bigger smaller: Typography -> Large sets --font-size-base to
18px on body, so anything inheriting it would be clamped down and the setting
quietly ignored. Each term covers a case the others miss:

  normal (body 16)       16px      Large theme (body 18)    18px
  Small theme (body 14)  16px      browser default 20px     20px

The viewport meta is deliberately left alone: `maximum-scale=1` would suppress
the zoom by disabling pinch-to-zoom for everyone.

Paul NothaftandPaul Nothaft 69edee36fc ci: give the backend job headroom over its observed tail (#1108)
The backend job normally finishes in about 3 minutes — the last eight
runs on main were 2.6 to 3.4 — but it is the only one that boots
Postgres and runs the full integration suite, so it is the only one
exposed to runner contention. The observed spread has reached 9.2
minutes against a 10-minute cap, and release PR #1088 was cancelled at
10.3 with every test in the log passing and jest still running.

That failure mode is expensive out of proportion to how often it
happens: a cancelled job is a red X on a branch that is actually green,
so it costs a diagnosis and a re-run each time, and it lands on release
PRs because those are the ones that run when everything else does.

The cap is a runaway guard rather than a performance budget, so 20 buys
real headroom over the worst run seen while still killing a genuinely
hung suite well inside the hour GitHub would otherwise allow.

frontend and ml keep 10: they finish in seconds and have never been
close.

LucaandPaul Nothaft 9431b9f094 feat(setup): configure the public address and SMTP in the wizard, not .env (#1104)
* feat(setup): configure the public address and SMTP in the wizard, not .env

A fresh install could not configure its own public address. `general_site_url`
and the `email_configs` row already existed as admin settings, but nothing
could reach them:

- docker-compose.yml injected FRONTEND_URL=${FRONTEND_URL:-http://localhost:3000}
  and Dockerfile.aio baked in ENV FRONTEND_URL=http://localhost:3000, so
  getFrontendBaseUrl() returned on its first branch every time and the setting
  was never read. .env.example shipped the same value as an uncommented
  placeholder for FRONTEND_URL / ADMIN_URL / API_URL.
- the wizard never asked for the address at all, and skipped its whole config
  step unless a CRM-ish feature was selected — so a gallery-only install was
  also never offered SMTP, despite gallery links, guest invites and expiry
  warnings all going out through email_configs.
- eleven call sites read process.env.FRONTEND_URL directly rather than the
  resolver, three of them defaulting to placeholder hosts that reached real
  recipients: https://app.example.com in payment-reminder emails, localhost:3005
  in admin invitation emails, https://app.example.com in dev template previews.

Stop injecting a default anywhere, and resolve the origin instead:
FRONTEND_URL -> general_site_url -> the origin the request arrived on ->
whichever exists -> ''. A loopback candidate is treated as unconfigured so the
installs that already have http://localhost:3000 baked into their environment
self-heal; the same guard previously lived inline in routes/gallery.js for the
slideshow QR (#848) and is now shared. The empty return is preserved because
shareLinkService and the SSO redirects in routes/auth rely on it to emit
relative urls — callers needing an absolute url use getAbsoluteFrontendUrl(),
which still ends at http://localhost:3000.

The wizard now persists window.location.origin right after the admin account is
created, so an install that skips the rest still has a usable origin for
background jobs that have no request to derive one from, and offers it as an
editable "Public address" field. Settings -> General shows the field read-only
when FRONTEND_URL pins it, instead of silently ignoring edits.

Also drop the `|| 'mailhog'` fallback when seeding email_configs: that host only
exists in the dev compose profile (which does not even start by default), so a
fresh install came up with a live config pointing nowhere while the wizard
showed empty SMTP fields. With no row, blank fields are the truth and
emailProcessor logs "No email configuration found". Developers set
SMTP_HOST=mailhog explicitly.

backend/src/services/emailService.js is deleted: nothing in backend/ references
it, and it was the only consumer of the SMTP_* variables, which misrepresented
how mail is configured.

Refs #705

* fix(setup): keep FRONTEND_URL ahead of ADMIN_URL/APP_URL when resolving links

The previous commit routed two call sites through the resolver but put the
site-specific variable FIRST, silently reversing precedence:

  userManagementService  was: FRONTEND_URL || ADMIN_URL || localhost:3005
                    became: ADMIN_URL || resolver
  adminEvents/crud       was: FRONTEND_URL || APP_URL || ''
                    became: APP_URL || resolver

An install with both variables set would have flipped which one won. Call the
resolver first instead — it starts with FRONTEND_URL, so the original relative
order is preserved and only the final fallback changes: localhost:3005 (not
even the frontend's port) and '' (a relative link inside an email) both become
the resolved origin.

Refs #705

* fix(setup): unpin loopback FRONTEND_URL, keep ADMIN_URL/APP_URL reachable

Review feedback on #1104.

isEnvPinned() reported ANY FRONTEND_URL as authoritative, including the
loopback values getFrontendBaseUrl() deliberately demotes. An install
upgrading with the old compose default FRONTEND_URL=http://localhost:3000
therefore resolved its origin from general_site_url correctly, but got the
Site URL field rendered read-only in Settings and skipped by the wizard's
seeding - locking the exact operators this change exists to unblock out of
configuring a public address anywhere. The predicate now mirrors the
resolver, and the derived general_site_url_effective the General tab reads
comes from the same helper instead of re-normalising process.env inline.

APP_URL and ADMIN_URL had become dead code: getFrontendBaseUrl() only
returns falsy when NOTHING is configured, so `|| process.env.ADMIN_URL`
after it never ran once a site URL existed - which after this PR is the
normal case. A split-origin install pointing ADMIN_URL at a separate admin
host got invite links on the public gallery origin instead. They are now
passed as an explicit `override` that resolves directly below FRONTEND_URL,
preserving the historic FRONTEND_URL-before-ADMIN_URL order while beating
the database- and request-derived fallbacks.

general_site_url now feeds the CORS allowlist and the
Access-Control-Allow-Origin header, not just email links, so a schemeless
value is an allowlist entry no browser origin can match. Validate it
server-side in PUT /general (isURL with require_protocol, require_tld off
so LAN/NAS installs on http://nas:3000 still work) and client-side in both
surfaces that write it - type="url" never fires in either, since neither
input sits inside a form.

Two more wizard fixes: the General tab no longer reposts general_site_url
while it is env-pinned, because the field then holds the effective env
value rather than the stored one and the round-trip read as a change to a
protected key, 403ing a settings.edit-without-settings.domains admin on an
unrelated save. And SetupConfigStep validates the From address before
posting - /admin/email/config rejects a blank one, which used to surface as
a generic warning while the wizard advanced from its finally block anyway,
discarding every SMTP value the user had typed, password included. A failed
save now keeps them on the step.

* fix(setup): surface a rejected public address instead of swallowing it

Review round 2 follow-up on #1104, pushed onto the branch.

saveSiteUrl() caught and discarded every error. That was defensible before
round 2 added a server-side URL check, but PUT /general can now answer 400 —
and the two validators disagreed:

  http://my_nas.local      client: accepted   server: rejected
  http://foo_bar:3000      client: accepted   server: rejected

validate() let those through, the 400 was swallowed, `failed` stayed false and
onDone() ran. The operator finished the wizard believing the public address was
stored when nothing had been. That is the silent misconfiguration this whole
change exists to remove, landing on the LAN and NAS installs it targets.

Three parts:

- saveSiteUrl() throws. finish() resolves it before anything else is posted and
  puts the message on the address field rather than the generic "some settings
  could not be saved" warning. Skip for now still always leaves, by contract,
  but warns instead of dropping the value in silence.
- allow_underscores on the server check, for the same reason require_tld is
  off: browsers resolve http://my_nas.local and the client accepts it, so
  rejecting it server-side only produced the mismatch above. Both validators
  now agree across the LAN/NAS, IDN, bare-IP and scheme-less cases.
- LOOPBACK_BASE_RE anchors its host token. Bare prefix matching also demoted
  https://localhost-nas.example.com, and now that this predicate gates the
  whole resolver rather than just the slideshow QR, being demoted means a
  configured address is silently ignored. 127. stays a bare prefix on purpose:
  all of 127.0.0.0/8 is loopback.

Resolver suite 31 passing, up from 26. Mutation-checked: restoring the
unanchored regex fails the three new host-boundary cases.

* fix(settings): don't lock the General tab on a site URL nobody typed

Review follow-up on #1104, pushed onto the branch.

general_site_url was free-text until this PR added a server-side check, so an
upgraded install can hold something schemeless that predates it. The tab
flagged that on load, and `disabled={!!siteUrlError}` then killed Save for
EVERY General setting.

An admin holding settings.edit but not settings.domains could not clear it
either: correcting the address is a change to a protected key and 403s. The
tab has no permission gating, so that role was simply locked out of the tab
with no self-service way back.

That is the same role adminSettings.js:85-95 documents the no-op round-trip
allowance for. The allowance only helps if the request is made, and this
blocked it in the browser first.

Validation now waits until the field is actually edited, and an unchanged
value is dropped from the payload rather than reposted — matching what the
env-pinned case already does one line above, and for the same reason.

  stored value invalid, untouched   Save works, key not sent
  edited to something unusable      Save blocked
  edited to a usable absolute url   saved

Four tests, first coverage for this feature. Mutation-checked: removing the
dirty gate fails the untouched-value case.

Paul NothaftandPaul Nothaft b3a7ab27ea fix(faces): face avatars were cropped against a cropped rendition (#1100)
* fix(faces): face avatars were cropped against a cropped rendition

Found while triaging #1096, which reported the People manager showing
unusable cluster covers — a bare shoulder, the back of a head, a patch
of background — and asked for more sample faces to compensate. Most of
that is not a detector problem and not a UI limitation. It is a bug.

faceCropStyle positions an avatar by scaling the WHOLE frame and
offsetting so the face lands centre. That holds only while the rendition
shown is the entire image at a uniform scale. Thumbnails are not:

  imageProcessor.js:93   DEFAULT_THUMBNAIL_FIT = 'inside'
  migration 040:6        thumbnail_fit seeded to 'cover'
  imageProcessor.js:229  fit: settings.fit

The 'inside' constant is only a fallback for a missing settings row, and
the row is seeded on every install — so thumbnails are centre-cropped
essentially everywhere, and every face avatar rendered against one is
silently offset on any non-square photo. The reporter read the setting
as safe because of that constant, and the code comment at :87-92 says
the same thing; all three places disagree with what is actually stored.

It presents as a bad detector, which is why it survived: the boxes are
right, the frame they are drawn against is not.

All three surfaces — the admin manager and the guest-facing strip and
sheet — now read a preview, which uses fit: 'inside' and is therefore
the whole frame. At w=640: plenty for a 64px avatar at DPR 3, and small
enough that a strip of a dozen people does not pull a dozen 1920px
renditions. Face scanning already calls ensurePreviewImage for anything
it scans, so a preview exists for every photo that has a face.

Adds the admin preview route the manager needed; the gallery already had
one. Both whitelist ?w= the same way.

The first version of the call-site test passed with every surface still
reading thumbnail_url, because an import alone satisfied it. It now
matches inside the src={...} expression, and each of the three surfaces
was individually reverted to confirm the test fails.

* fix(faces): size the face tier by bbox, and keep admin_preview auth

The face half of the external review; the tier-key and long-edge fixes
live on the #1099 branch this is stacked on.

Face avatars used one fixed 640 tier. In a 6000px group shot a 200px
face is ~21px there, and faceCropStyle then blows that up ~9x to fill a
64px avatar at DPR 3 — mush, and indistinguishable from the
mis-positioning bug this PR exists to fix. The tier is now derived from
the bbox's share of the frame, so a face across a hall gets 1920 and a
close-up still gets 640.

The synthesized face URL also dropped admin_preview. verifyGalleryAccess
only accepts the admin cookie when admin_preview=1 is on the request
(middleware/gallery.js:28), and the preview flow deliberately mints no
gallery JWT — so every avatar 401'd in exactly the mode an admin uses to
check a gallery before sending it to a client.

A phone can display ~1170px at most, but the preview tier is a single
1920px JPEG with no size parameter — so every lightbox swipe ships
roughly twice the bytes it can use, and the slide track preloads
neighbours, which multiplies it. On the reporter's all-external install
a null preview_url falls back to the untouched NAS original, which makes
it worse again.

Backend: ?w= on the gallery preview route, whitelisted to 640/1280/1920.
A whitelist rather than a free-form width because every distinct value
is a permanent rendition on disk — an open parameter is an invitation to
fill the volume. Unrecognised or absent values fall through to the
canonical 1920 preview, so old clients and hand-typed URLs behave
exactly as today.

Extra tiers are cache, not state: ensurePreviewImageAtWidth keys them by
width, looks them up in storage and generates on miss, and never writes
photos.preview_path. That column owns the canonical rendition, and
threading a width through it would mean the last size anyone requested
silently becomes "the" preview. Requesting 1920 resolves to the existing
preview rather than a w1920 duplicate, so no install grows a second copy
of every preview it already has.

The tier is part of the ETag. Without it a client holding the 1920
rendition gets a 304 for its 640 request and renders the wrong size,
which is this feature inverted.

Frontend: the lightbox picks a tier from innerWidth x devicePixelRatio,
capped at DPR 3 — uncapped, a DPR-10 device asks for 3900px and lands
straight back on the desktop rendition. At the top tier the URL is left
byte-identical so existing caches and ETags stay valid and desktop sees
no change at all. saveData and a 2g/3g effectiveType drop one tier;
both are Chromium-only, so they are a bonus rather than the mechanism.

Grid thumbnails are NOT tiered here, deliberately. generateThumbnail
resolves its width from admin settings rather than an argument, so
tiering it is a separate change — and shipping a srcset whose candidates
the server ignores would be worse than shipping none: the browser would
take the "600w" candidate, receive the 300px image and upscale it, which
is the reported softness made slightly worse. That half of #1095 lands
separately.

* fix(gallery): scope tier keys per photo, size by long edge, clean up tiers

External review. Three findings against the tier work, one a
cross-gallery leak.

The tier cache key was the photo's BASENAME. Managed uploads keep camera
basenames, so two events can each hold an IMG_0001.jpg — and a tier is
served straight from a cache hit without re-reading the source, so the
second gallery gets the first gallery's photo. Keys are now scoped by
photo id for every source type. The RAW branch passed proc.outputBasename,
which would have dropped that scoping again; it now passes the scoped name.

Tier selection used viewport WIDTH, but ?w= bounds the LONG edge
(fit:'inside'). On a 390x844 phone at DPR 3 a 2:3 portrait is bound by
height and renders ~1755 device px, so width-only picked 1280 and made
portraits softer than today; landscape on the same phone needs ~1170. It
now computes the rendered long edge from the photo's own dimensions and
falls back to the top tier — today's behaviour — when they are unknown.

Tiers live outside photos.preview_path, so nothing else knew they
existed: delete, bulk-delete and archive left them orphaned in previews/
forever, and regenerate-previews refreshed only the canonical rendition
while phones kept the stale copy. previewTierKeys derives them from the
same deterministic scheme and all four paths clean up. Deliberately
outside the preview_path guard — a tier can exist when the canonical
rendition never did, so keying cleanup off preview_path would strand
precisely the photos only ever viewed on a phone.

The existing tier tests encoded the old width-only semantics and were
updated rather than kept; that is a behaviour change, not a test fix.

Paul NothaftandPaul Nothaft 0b886ed942 fix(faces): defer on unreachable storage, and commit the import path first (#1097)
* fix(faces): defer on unreachable storage, and commit the import path first

The two follow-ups left open by #1091, both consequences of external
photos becoming scannable at all.

**A dropped mount no longer burns the gallery.** ensurePreviewImage
returns null for "this JPEG is corrupt" and "the NFS share is gone"
alike, and faceProcessor marked both 'failed'. Nothing re-queues a
failure automatically and the queue only ever claims 'pending', so a
mount that blinked mid-scan cost the whole event a manual Re-scan —
on external libraries, where network storage drops far more often than
local disk, that is the common case rather than the corner one.

faceProcessor now probes the containing DIRECTORY before failing, and
throws TransientSourceError when it cannot be reached; faceQueue treats
that exactly like SidecarUnavailableError — release to pending, back
off, retry — with the warning rate-limited to one per five minutes,
since an outage hits every photo in the event.

The directory rather than the file is the whole point: a missing file
inside a healthy directory is a broken photo and should still fail, and
it still does. Anything that goes wrong deciding which case it is falls
through to 'failed', because guessing 'transient' on an unknown
condition would retry forever.

**The import commits its path before inserting rows.** enqueueEvent
accepts processing_status NULL (faceProcessor.js:243-246), which these
inserts leave unset, so an admin hitting the toggle or Re-scan during a
long import could queue partial rows while the event still resolved
against the old directory — and burn them to 'failed'.

Moving events.external_path ahead of the loop closes that, and fixes a
pre-existing bug on the same line: an import that died at photo 500 of
1000 used to leave those 500 rows pointing into the new tree while the
event still resolved against the old one, making every one of them
unreadable. Safe to do first because the path is already validated
above, and existing photos are unaffected — photo.source_origin takes
precedence over event.source_mode in both resolvers and is NOT NULL
defaulting to 'managed'.

The #1090 test that asserted a missing source fails needed its setup
corrected rather than its intent: it created no directory at all, which
is now (correctly) a dropped mount. It now creates one, so it tests the
case it always meant to — healthy storage, dead photo.

Verified both fixes discriminate: removing the probe fails the defer
test, and moving the event update back after the loop fails the
ordering test. Face suite 59 passed across 8 suites; the full backend
suite fails the same 10 pre-existing suites as unmodified main, no more.

* fix(faces): stop a dead mount stalling the whole queue

External review, and the first finding is one my own change created.

Deferring by returning the row to 'pending' was a trap: claimNextPhoto
orders by id ascending and the queue defaults to a single worker, so the
same unreachable row becomes the oldest pending one after every backoff
and the worker never reaches a higher id. One dead mount would have
stalled face scanning for the entire install — unrelated events, fresh
uploads, everything. Strictly worse than the permanent 'failed' this set
out to replace.

The row is now left parked in 'processing' with face_started_at intact.
It is not claimable, so the worker moves straight on; the janitor that
already exists returns it to 'pending' past STUCK_TIMEOUT_MS, which is
the retry. No new column and no new timer. The sidecar branch still
releases, because a down sidecar blocks every photo anyway — there is no
other work to get on with.

Second: probing existence was not enough. Unmounting an NFS or SMB share
usually leaves the mountpoint behind as an ordinary empty directory, so
fs.access succeeded on storage that was entirely gone and the photo was
failed anyway — the exact case this was written for. An empty directory
where the photo should live now counts as unreachable. The trade is
deliberate and documented: a directory an admin genuinely emptied is
retried rather than failed, which now costs one attempt per janitor
sweep and nothing else.

Third: a comment in adminExternalMedia claimed source_origin isolates
existing photos from the early external_path update. That is true of
managed rows and false of external ones — resolveExternalPath prefixes
every external row with event.external_path, so importing folder B into
an event referencing folder A rebases the A rows. Pre-existing rather
than introduced here (the update always did this, just later), but the
comment asserted otherwise, so it now says what actually happens and
names the underlying single-base-path limitation.

The deferral test initially passed against the blocking version too —
database state alone cannot tell the fix from the bug. It now inspects
the branch directly, the way the #596 contract tests do, and fails when
releaseToPending is put back or the two branches are merged.

* fix(faces): back off per event, and stop clobbering concurrent scans

Round two of external review.

Parking a row in 'processing' fixed the head-of-line block but not the
cost: every janitor sweep handed the whole dead gallery back, and the
worker walked all of it again — one stat per photo against storage that
may be hard-mounted and slow to time out — before reaching any healthy
event. Every one of those attempts also went through
generatePreviewImage first, which logs an error per photo, so a down
mount produced a recurring flood that the rate-limited warning did
nothing about.

So the backoff is now per EVENT and separate from the janitor:
TransientSourceError carries the event id, the queue records a cooldown,
and claimNextPhoto excludes those events while it lasts. The janitor
keeps doing its own job, which is rescuing rows a crashed worker
abandoned. Cooldown is in memory on purpose — a restart is usually what
follows fixing a mount, so it should retry at once.

Second: committing the event path before the loop means a toggle or
Re-scan firing mid-import can now genuinely queue and finish some of
those rows. The final bulk update was unconditional, so it dragged
'done' rows back to 'pending' for a duplicate sidecar scan and knocked
'processing' rows out from under the worker. It is now whereNull —
only rows nothing has touched are ours to queue.

Also corrected a comment of mine that had gone stale in the same file:
it still described the enqueue as happening after the event path was
written "below", which stopped being true when that update moved above
the loop.

* fix(faces): judge the mount, the path and the file separately

Round three of external review. The probe was too coarse in both
directions.

It read any ENOENT on the photo's own directory as a mount-wide outage,
so a deleted or renamed subfolder — individual/ gone while collages/ is
healthy — deferred the entire event and starved every sibling folder,
renewing the cooldown on each retry. It now judges the EVENT ROOT for
that verdict: root missing, or present-but-empty, is an outage; anything
below a populated root is a broken path and fails.

And it read a listable directory as proof the photo was at fault, so
EACCES on a reconnected share, EIO, or the classic NFS ESTALE handle
were burnt as permanent failures. Only ENOENT now means genuinely gone;
any other error opening the file defers.

The event-wide backoff was also too broad. A reference event can hold
managed uploads alongside imported external ones, and those live in
local storage that is fine — excluding the whole event id left them
unscanned for as long as external rows kept renewing the cooldown, which
during a real outage is indefinitely. The exclusion is now scoped to
external and reference rows.

One of my own tests had modelled the unmount wrongly: it emptied the
photo's subdirectory rather than the event root, which under the
corrected logic is a populated mount with a missing folder — a failure,
not an outage. It now empties the root, which is what an unmount
actually leaves behind.

Dropped the path require the first version of this probe needed; the
event-root form does not.

All three fixes mutation-checked: reverting each one fails the test
written for it. Face suite 69 passed across 9 suites; full backend suite
fails the same 10 pre-existing suites as main, no more.

Luca e47c103c2a docs(readme): point the single-container install at a tag that exists
The all-in-one quickstart tells people to pull
`ghcr.io/picpeak/picpeak/aio:stable`, which has never been published, so
the documented one-liner fails for anyone who copies it:

    docker: Error response from daemon: failed to resolve reference
    "ghcr.io/picpeak/picpeak/aio:stable": not found

`merge-aio` does gate `:stable`/`:latest` on `refs/heads/stable` or a
non-prerelease `v*` tag, same as backend/frontend — but `Dockerfile.aio`
only landed on `main` in 0874a30a (#1068, 2026-08-18), and the current
`stable` head (3.46.1) does not contain it. So the aio image has only
ever built off `main`/beta refs, and its full tag list on GHCR and Docker
Hub is `main`, `beta`, and `3.10x.y-beta.0`. backend and frontend both
have `stable` and `latest`; aio is the only image that does not.

Point the quickstart at `:main`, which exists today, and note when
`:stable` will start working so this can flip back after the next stable
promotion.

ci(docker): publish the all-in-one image to Docker Hub, and give aio + ml a Hub page
2026-08-20 09:31:56 +03:00
Luca 899c9b3407 docs(docker): Hub pages for aio + ml, and the image table in the README
picpeak/ml has an empty Hub overview and picpeak/aio has none at all,
while backend and frontend carry hand-written ones — so the two newest
images are the two with nothing on their registry page.

Adds .github/dockerhub/{aio,ml}.md as the source of those pages and a
dockerhub-descriptions job that pushes them on every main merge, so the
page cannot drift from the release it describes. backend/frontend stay
hand-maintained for now: capturing their current Hub text into files is
a prerequisite, not a side effect of this change.

README gains a registry table for all four images (both registries share
digests and tags), the org-move callout lists the full set, and the
feature list finally mentions People in this gallery, which shipped in
#1074 without a README line.

Luca 2df455784c ci(docker): mirror the all-in-one image to Docker Hub
The aio image (#1042) shipped GHCR-only with a TODO to wire the Docker
Hub mirror once the Hub repo existed. backend, frontend and the ml
sidecar all publish to docker.io/picpeak/*; aio was the only image a
Docker Hub user could not pull.

merge-aio now follows merge-backend/merge-ml verbatim: DOCKERHUB_ENABLED
computed from the repository slug (so forks stay GHCR-only), a gated
Docker Hub login, docker.io/picpeak/aio added to the metadata images
list, and a Docker Hub manifest inspect. Tag scheme is untouched — the
same beta/main/stable/latest/semver tags land in both registries.

The build summary drops the "Docker Hub mirror pending" note and lists
the aio (and ml) Hub images when the mirror is active.

Paul NothaftandPaul Nothaft 576924fa57 fix(faces): scan external/reference photos instead of skipping them (#1090) (#1091)
* fix(faces): scan external/reference photos instead of skipping them (#1090)

faceProcessor short-circuited every photo with source_origin 'external'
or 'reference' straight to 'skipped', before the sidecar was ever
contacted. On an external-media install that is the entire library — the
reporter's gallery sat at 0/3230 with every row skipped and no error, and
a rescan changed nothing.

The guard was correct when written: resolvePhotoStorageKey returns null
for anything outside managed storage, so ensurePreviewImage could not
build a preview and there was nothing to send. #1078 removed that
limitation one release earlier — ensurePreviewImage now reads externals
straight off the mount via resolvePhotoFilePath and writes the preview
into managed storage, so the key faceProcessor already fetches through
getStorage() is readable like any other. The guard outlived its reason.

Photos whose source is genuinely gone still return a null preview key
and land in the existing 'failed' branch, which is the honest outcome:
that is a broken photo, not an unsupported one. The blanket skip was
absorbing those too.

No migration or manual reset needed — enqueueEvent already re-queues
rows with face_status in (NULL, 'failed', 'skipped'), so previously
skipped photos get picked up on the next scan.

* fix(faces): queue external imports for scanning (#1090)

The other half of the same bug, found by external review — and my first
counter-argument against it was wrong.

Managed uploads are enqueued by photoProcessor, which writes face_status
'pending' once a photo is processed (photoProcessor.js:573, commented as
"the only correct place to enqueue"). External media never goes through
photoProcessor at all: adminExternalMedia inserts rows directly, leaving
face_status NULL.

faceQueue.claimNextPhoto only claims 'pending' (faceQueue.js:64), so an
import into an already-enabled event produced nothing until someone
pressed Re-scan. Lifting the skip guard alone made external photos
scannable but still not scanned — which looks like a complete fix right
up until you import a photo.

Resolved once per import rather than per file, since it is a per-event
setting and the loop can run to a thousand files, and guarded on both
the global flag and the per-event toggle exactly as photoProcessor
guards it, so installs without the feature still never write a
face_status. A failure to read the setting logs and imports anyway — the
photos are the point.

No video guard: walkDir only collects jpg/jpeg/png/webp, so nothing
faceProcessor would skip as video can arrive through this route.

* fix(faces): enqueue imports only after the event path is written

External review caught a race I introduced in the previous commit.

Marking rows 'pending' as they were inserted published claimable work
while events.external_path still held the old value — or none at all, on
a first import, since the route only writes it after the entire
thumbnail loop. The face worker polls continuously, so on any import
long enough to matter (the loop is ~100-300ms per photo, and the
reporter's library is 6500+) it would claim those rows, resolve them
against the wrong directory and mark them permanently 'failed' — a state
only an explicit Re-scan clears. That is strictly worse than the
unscanned photos this set out to fix.

Ids are now collected during the loop and marked pending in one pass
after the event path is written, chunked at 500 because SQLite caps a
statement at 999 bound parameters.

The test now drives the real route instead of re-implementing its logic,
and observes the mid-loop state from inside the per-photo thumbnail
call — the only hook that can see the window the race lived in. Verified
it discriminates: deleting the enqueue fails two tests, and moving it
back onto the insert fails the ordering test specifically.

* fix(faces): read the face setting after the import, not before

Third external-review round. The setting was captured before a loop that
runs for many minutes on a large library, so an admin who enabled
detection during an import left every photo imported after that moment
at NULL forever — the toggle endpoint only queues rows that already
existed when it fired.

Ids are now collected unconditionally and the setting is evaluated
immediately before the queue update, off a freshly read event row. The
guard is unchanged in substance: both the global flag and the per-event
toggle, so installs without the feature still never write a face_status.

Test flips the toggle from inside the mocked per-photo thumbnail call,
which is the same mid-loop hook the ordering test uses.
